Another Fight! Battling Xiao Yi Xian

Interesting!

Xiao Xuan watched Xiao Yi Xian challenge Xiao Yan with great interest.

These juniors could always provide plenty of amusement.

"Boy Yao, which of those two do you think will win?"

Turning his head, Xiao Xuan addressed Yao Chen, who was doing his best to make himself inconspicuous.

"Uh... Xiao Yi Xian, of course."

Yao Chen gave a straightforward answer.

Others might not have been able to tell, but Yao Chen possessed a Heavenly Flame, and his strength far surpassed theirs. Naturally, he could sense the Nether Poison Flame inside Xiao Yi Xian.

Merely refining that kind of Heavenly Flame would not have been much.

But combined with the Woeful Poison Body, it became terrifying!

The two extremely troublesome poisons together were practically impossible to counter.

Xiao Xuan said nothing, quietly watching the battle unfold.

Xiao Yi Xian had no intention of hiding anything and directly unleashed the Nether Poison Flame. In an instant, the sky filled with a dizzying shade of deep green.

Xiao Yan, facing her, was no less impressive. The Green Lotus Core Flame and the purple flame complemented each other, immediately claiming half the sky.

In a contest purely between the ranks of their flames, Xiao Yan still held a considerable advantage.

But those were not the only means available in a fight.

What Xiao Yi Xian excelled at most was poison!

Using Dou Qi as a carrier, wave after wave of horrifying toxins swept out of Xiao Yi Xian's body.

Almost anyone below the Dou Emperor level would die upon contact.

Xiao Yi Xian, who was only a Dou Wang, possessed the strength to stand unrivaled among her peers.

But to Xiao Yan, this was merely an appetizer.

He was a man who had gone toe-to-toe with a Dou Zong before.

"Flame Splitting Wave Ruler!"

Xiao Yan had not mastered many Dou Techniques, but as long as they worked, that was enough.

In an instant, the Nether Poison Flame spread across the sky was swept away.

Xiao Yi Xian did not mind. She had only unleashed it to draw Xiao Yan's attention; her true methods of the poison path were not something a Heavenly Flame could carry.

"Poison Mountain Marsh!"

This was an extraordinarily profound domain technique from the Heavenly Poison Scripture.

That region in the Chu Yun Empire was the handiwork of the Heavenly Poison Scripture's owner.

The surrounding air began to turn somewhat viscous.

Using the water-attribute natural Qi as a carrier, the toxins spread rapidly across the entire area. With no one suppressing them, this place would soon become a death zone.

But Xiao Yan naturally would not sit back and do nothing.

"Senior sister, forgive the offense!"

Xiao Yan gave her a polite warning. He knew the fight before him was only a spar, and his ancestor was watching from the side!

But getting him to lose?

That would be difficult!

Heavenly Flames were simply too effective at countering all manner of unorthodox arts.

Even when the poison path reached its peak and wielded boundless power, it was still not the orthodox path.

"Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus!"

Xiao Yan went straight for an enhanced version. He had grown increasingly adept at fusing the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and the Green Lotus Core Flame, and there was even a faint hint of purple within it.

Three flames fused into one!

The spread of Poison Mountain Marsh seemed to pause slightly, and even the ground it had already claimed was being relinquished.

"Explode!"

Xiao Yan released it, though he had not used a killing move.

Xiao Yi Xian seemed to be in danger.

"An excellent fusion of Heavenly Flames!"

Xiao Yi Xian offered a soft word of praise, her face full of smiles.

The inheritance of the Heavenly Poison Scripture was not as simple as a mere Dou Sheng.

"Woeful Poison Body!"

Her eyes gradually turned deep purple.

Xiao Yi Xian seemed to have lost control.

"Senior!"

Yao Chen, watching from the side, turned pale with shock. It was not as though he had never seen a Woeful Poison Body before.

Yao Chen had once dealt directly with an earlier possessor of the Woeful Poison Body who had ravaged the Central Plains.

Once it lost control, it would leave the land barren for a thousand miles!

Of course, with Senior present, even a Woeful Poison Body at the Dou Sheng level running out of control could probably be suppressed with a turn of his hand.

But this girl before them was no ordinary person!

Yao Chen stirred his Bone Spirit Cold Flame slightly, making preparations.

"A minor affair!"

Xiao Xuan chuckled softly.

With those few words, all the Heavenly Flame Yao Chen had gathered dispersed!

The situation on the battlefield began to reach a fever pitch.

The Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus, formed from three flames.

It exploded!

"The technique he's worked out is decent, if a little rough."

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Xuan's face. He thought he would pass on some methods of controlling fire to the little fellow later.

In Xiao Xuan's eyes, fusing one or two kinds of flames, even Heavenly Flames, was nothing more than child's play.

But fusing three flames that were not entirely under control was somewhat interesting.

Little Yanzi had talent in the way of flames.

Xiao Xuan nodded in anticipation.

Xiao Yi Xian's performance was also commendable.

Whether it was Poison Mountain Marsh or the activation of her Woeful Poison Body, they had merely been preparations.

The Heavenly Poison Scripture contained a forbidden secret technique.

Heavenly Poison Body!

Using it was simple: it merely strengthened the user's body with toxins.

The more it contained, the stronger it became.

And Xiao Yi Xian's Heavenly Poison Body, though only preliminarily condensed, already had the presence of a High-Rank Dou Zong.

It encompassed the surrounding natural Qi contaminated by toxins, as well as her own Woeful Poison Body.

Reaching this point was only natural.

What was remarkable was that Xiao Yi Xian could still broadly control this considerable power. That was what pleased Xiao Xuan most.

Even when she improved further in the future, there would not be much danger of her losing herself.

Relying on the Heavenly Poison Body, Xiao Yi Xian did not dodge. She charged straight forward to meet the attack head-on.

In that respect, she was just like Medusa before her.

When women turned fierce, there really was no place for men.

Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flame fusion technique also possessed the power of a High-Rank Dou Zong.

The collision between the two was quite a sight.

Bang!

The brilliantly colored Heavenly Flames dispersed, while the toxins permeating the sky gradually vaporized as well.

Had both sides suffered?

"Little brother Xiao Yan, it looks like I'm a little better!"

Xiao Yi Xian gradually emerged from the aftermath of the explosion. Though her Heavenly Poison Body was damaged, she still retained more than half her fighting strength.

Xiao Yan, by contrast, was not in such good shape.

The Heavenly Flame fusion technique was powerful, but with his current Dou Qi cultivation, he could not possibly keep using it.

A wry smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Yan seemed ready to admit defeat.

They were on the same side anyway, so it was nothing to be ashamed of.

"Spirit Manifestation Spike!"

At the last moment, Xiao Yan had concealed a soul technique.

This had evidently been learned from Yao Chen.

As the continent's foremost alchemist in the public eye back then, Yao Chen naturally had a respectable soul realm as well.

Although he had not caught a glimpse of the Heaven Realm, he was definitely among the very best in the Spirit Realm. Indeed, spurred by his return from death, Yao Chen was showing faint signs of breaking through to the Heaven Realm.

He still needed to build up a little more, however.

Yao Chen had previously possessed such wondrous alchemical arts as the Spirit Fusion Secret Technique.

When it came to combat, he also had methods of manifesting the spirit.

They were merely rudimentary applications of giving soul power tangible form.

Naturally, they amounted to little in the Spirit Realm, but for someone only at the Mortal Realm, they were truly heaven-defying.

The fact that Xiao Yan could manifest soul power while at the Dou Wang level was absolute proof of his talent in the way of the soul.

Of course, Xiao Xuan knew this had to do with Xiao Yan's origins.

The stability of his soul far surpassed that of others at the same level!

Interesting!

Xiao Xuan had no intention of intervening. It was time for his disciple Xiao Yi Xian to suffer a little hardship too.

This kind of soul attack looked frightening, but in Xiao Xuan's eyes, it was still like children playing house.

In midair, Xiao Yi Xian let out a muffled groan, clearly having suffered a severe blow.

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and as her figure swayed, even her Heavenly Poison Body gradually became impossible to maintain.

Boom!

At last, it burst apart and dispersed!
